I grew Headband (we think) and it's just too knockout for me. Feels good for 10 minutes, then I'm asleep. I got some stuff from a friend, the sativa is killer and I can smoke that... everything else is too couch lock for me and puts me to sleep. Doesn't work at all with a baby. I'm worried a little because basically my whole stash is worthless to me. I might try to trade with someone who has sativas.

It may be worthless to you, but it won't be to someone else.

Sativas are the way my friend :). I hate being KO'd. Also, I'm pretty sure real head band isn't a heavy couchlock variety, although you might burn out pretty hard I suppose.

CINDY 99 man!!!! Nice uplifting sativa high, in a 8 week package!!

You've been growing and smoking all these hard hitting stoney hybrids, the sativa is what you need in your life for sure. Having the landrace would be cool, but if it makes you parinoid its prolly not a great all the time thing. I love smoking the Cindy all day, then somthing stonier at night before bed. That White Widow I ran for so long had alot of sativa in it too. I was able to smoke it all day, before work, whenever and still get shit done and not be out of my wits. I am definitely a sativa lover, I'm lazy enough on my own I don't need to be sleepy too :).

The C99 I've had also wasn't overwhelmingly strong in effect. Best daytime weed around. At least, outside of pure landraces. At least IMO. Might be more manageable in Jig's setup but it is still really stretchy.
 
I grew 2 different Cindys both had great flavor/smell (super fruity) and a great hybrid high.
No paranoia, and no sleepiness.
Mine didnt stretch a lot, but heard the Pineapple cut is more stretchy, but also allusive.
 
i got c99 in the oven cooking her, and she is growing fast i got my seed from buyseeds.com and this is a fast growing c99 with big yield. gonna see what she does first with just 1 fim just like my blueberry's with 1 fim. the clones ill lst and maybe mainline but first have to see what they can do.

It's not totally insane stretch, but it's stretchier than more indica doms for sure. A lot of space between internodes in my experience too. Kind of floppy.

okay if i use cfl at 6 inch up they stretch. at 3 they dont. if i use led they dont stretch period dont matter if 12 inch or 36 inch away. Im doing blueberry and need stretch but decided to just fim them and see. maybe i can get enough seperation in the 4 new tops when they come up. blueberries are bushy fing plants 80% ind and 20 sativa. i think they need to be 60 ind and 40 sativa. ill see im lowering light time 2 hrs each week so 2 weeks 3 days it iwll be flower time, god i hope i get stretch in them if not gonna have to use cfl to fill in the mid section of plants, i got 172 actual watts led 12 bands of spectrum. main light is 9 and drop in led is 3 more diff spectrum's. the ph issue is fixed and they are growing fast again. im jsut doing 4 plants of the 10 in flower the others gonna veg the shit out of them. then ill get a tent and have 2 flower rooms. i want to lst but have to let them go for first run.

Mine less than doubled after stretch, but it did need support after 4 weeks into flower as I recall.
I never ran her un-topped though
 
Numbers are in. Right about 6 oz. A little over a gram short. So 167 grams from 450 w of LED's.

If you use g/w, that's about 0.37 g/w. I would say my average in the closet using HID's was around 0.40-0.42, something like that. So using those numbers it's about 10% lower yield using g/w with the LED's vs HID's.

If one considers the electricity difference between the 6" 435 cfm I was running 24/7 with HIDs vs the 50 cfm bathroom fan I ran 24/7 I think the yield per electricity would be right on with the HID grows I've done.

As for quality, these are the best flavored buds I've grown. The smoke is too strong for me, I gave some to a friend today, we'll await his report. He smokes a LOT so he should be a good judge.

I have more pictures and videos (so he always says).
 
I had 2 distinctly different phenos of the Cindy. I got mine from female seeds, there was a shorter nice dense pheno and a taller stretchier one. I failed to save the shorter one, but was able my breeding project with it. I've still got a taller one going, and I bought a second pack of seeds to get another one of the other pheno. From what I've seen of the female seeds c99 grows its about a 50/50 mix. Not one person I've smoked the Cindy with has failed to fall in love.

Edit: Just saw your post, and I think those numbers deserve alot of respect, considering the quality seems to be absolutely topself. My vote will officially be given in under a month :)!

She yielded pretty well.

I did not top mine. I did not buy from Female seeds either, I received my beans for free from MJ at PeakseedsBC.com. It's breeding stock given to him by Frost Dzzle (sp?) who has his own version. Anyway I bought a lot of seeds from him at once and he threw in like 3 packs of C99. So I can't complain. I definitely liked it a lot. I kind of wish I was still growing it as I don't have anything that's quite as great in the day currently.
